Myitery-Comedy Play Production Tickets Ready For Sale Monday

By CLIFFORD DAVIS

An all-out drive to push the stu­dent tax card tickets for the Spring production of "Laburnum Grove" will begin this Monday, May 2, and close Tuesday, May 3. Since there are only 875 tickets, it would be sensible to get them at this early date. The rest of the tickets will be thrown open to outside sale after Tuesday.

PAGE a STATE COLLEGE NEWS. FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1998

From The Editor's Peak:

Hail And Farewell . . . Tomorrow morning when this year's

leaders vacate their honored places and the new leaders step up to try and fill their shoes, the freshmen will witness their first Moving-Up Day and the Seniors their last. This is perhaps the most traditional event tha t exists at State—a college which is steeped in tradition—and one of the nicest memories graduates carry away with them,

As we look back on this past year we can point with pride to the fine leaders we have worked under. They have done an excellent job and deserve a warm round of applause. They have had to work against many ob­stacles: an increasing disinterest in student government and extra-curricular activities, the removal of the assembly from Page Hall, and an enlarged enrollment. They have come through with flying colors. Our government with its compulsory "town meetings" is becoming more and more out of date and it is evident something will have to be done about it. Whether it will be a representative type government or a non-compulsory assembly type, the new leaders will have a big job on their hands. We wel­come them and wish them all the luck in the world.

A Helping Hand . The Surplus Committee, appointed to

come up with some ideas on how to spend all the money floating around, made a few suggestions to Council Wednesday, among which were a scholarship fund, a bus and a college camp. We were very surprised to learn that our college offers only two schol­arships, of just fifty dollars each: one for library science and one for a Junior who shows promise in administrative work.

Ours is one of the few colleges in the country that offers such a limited number of scholarships. Many students have to leave college because of a lack of financial assistance. It seems cruel to deprive them of a college education and the state of more sorely-needed teachers for lack of a few hundred dollars.

Considering all the money in surplus, roughly sixteen thousand dollars, it seems only fair that we put it to some good use, and what is better than a scholarship fund for deserving students?

When you are asked to vote on this in the future, think of what a difference a scholarship could make to a student who really deserves an education but can't af­ford one.

OFF THE GRASS, KEEP The barricade in front of Pierce evidently put up to let the gay young

blades grow certainly serves its purpose, but looks a bit slipshod. Even a coat of paint would make it less of a detraction from the beautiful lawn and dorm.

VOTING Every year there seems to be a certain amount of rumoring just

about this time as to who has won what office. This year's rumors seem especially authoritative, but as equally elusive.

ILLEGAL More students at State College smoke in the hall than free samples

can be provided for. If the College and Campus Commission have set up regulations prohibiting smoking, why not enforce them, or, better yet, why not obey them ourselves. Perhaps the present study of Campus Commission will shed some light on this.

NOTEWORTHY If we could see such innovations as we found in the cafeteria this

week life would have a rosier hue. A whole roomful of new "smooth and shiny" tables had been put in over the weekend. We've certainly seen a number of improvements in that area this year. We hope cur­tains might be planned for the dining rooms eventually. Although we weren't here when it happened, we have a sneaking suspicion that the cafeteria and kitchen were built around whatever space could be found in lower Husted, the building not having been planned for a food opera­tion. The bottlenecks that we fight all winter are not due to bad plan­ning but to the physical restrictions. Now if we were to move walls . . .

GAMES After the tapping of Myskania <in Page) the ball players will do a

little tapping of their own, we hope. The diamond nine will perform at Bleecker Stadium this Saturday at 2:30 pjn. We predict the Hathaway men will conquer the Danbury squad.

I'PON US A prophetic note was sounded this past weekend at the Delaware

Theatre in the movie "Doctor in the House." To paraphrase the situa­tion "Why aren't you studying? There are only four weeks 'til finals!" The number of college students in the audience felt the hand of Fate upon them. Needless to say, there are only three weeks left now, what happened to all the good intentions last January?

POLITICAL PREDICTIONS While sitting in our private office, pondering the fate of the candi­

dates in last week's election, we were startled by the appearance of a black-cloaked figure. Offering us a piece of paper with the jolting "elec­tion results" on it, we hastened to look it over. Before we were able to copy it down, State College's own Scotland Yard arrived on the scene and the "13" carried the intruder and all papers off into the night. We offer these glances from that paper: Bob Betscha, Enid Vigilante, Linda Niles; Midge Fisher, Bob Betscha, Sig Smith, Joe Kelly, Mary Brezny, Sam Krchnlak, Jane Loman, Al Weiner, Tush Barber, Marge Kelleher, Linda Niles, Sue Barnhart, Bea Engelhardt.

Seven American Teems Scramble

While the Tigers were clawing their way to the top of the Ameri­can Baseball League this week, the seven Softball squads In the Ameri­can division of the Intramural Soft­ball League were clawing each other in quest of the championship. The feature of this week's play was the two victories chalked up by the APA nine.

Allasio Throws 4-Hitter Last Thursday APA, with veteran

hurler John Allasio on the mound, won a close game from a stubborn Pogos club, 4-3. Ioele pitched a strong game for the Pogos, allow­ing only six hits, but his perform­ance was not quite good enough as APA pushed across two runs in the first inning and single tallies in the last two frames.

After a weekend of rest the Pogos bounced back Monday only to be clubbed 13-9 by the dark horse Ridge House squad. The contest was celled at the end of five innings because of darkness. Borden was the

The Big Four? To the Sports Editor:

Students have been clamoring for more Intercollegiate Sports at State for several years. Now there is a possibility of adding one more to our "big three intercollegiates" in the form of a varsity track team.

In order to make this addition, however, some sort of interest has to be shown; and, as far as I'm concerned, the required interest is not present at all. Seemed Inevitable

Track seemed inevitable when sign-up sheets were put in the group houses. The response was very encouraging. Now, however, I'm convinced that track will never come to State. Two meetings were called for the purpose of organizing a Track Club. Such organization would prove our interest to the Ath­letic Association. Only five people showed up at the first meeting. This poor showing was blamed on insufficient publicity. As a result publicity for the second meeting-was literally "poured on." A head­lined article announcing this meet­ing appeared in the News. The meet­ing was announced in all Physical Education classes. Also an an­nouncement was placed on the A.M.I.A. bulletin board. Therefore a large turnout was expected. As a result two people showed up. It was very discouraging to see a semester's work apparently wasted. I aim hop­ing, however, that the interest has not died. Another meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 17, at 4 p.m. An announcement will be placed in the May 13 issue of the News. Please attend this meeting and help to prove we're really interested in bet­tering the sports situation here at State.

Our Sports Spotlight this week falls on John Allasio, fireball hurl­er of the APA team. John won a pair of games this week, one being u two-hitter and the other a four-hitter.

The two-hitter was hurled Wed­nesday against the Rousers who dropped the decision, 9-1. Last Thursday John came in with an al­most, equally fine performance as he downed the Pogos, 4-3.

The Sports Spotlight runner-up honors of the week go to the Smiths. Mary, who received recognition for a 21-polnt hoop production once got in on the act again as sire rolled a 524 in the Mixed Bowling Tour­ney. The other half of the Smith combination—Bob—rolled 442. A 123 point handicap was added to give them the winning 1089 score.

Elections for the A.M.I.A, Board were held Wednesday to fill the of­fices of president, vice-president, financial secretary, and secretary. Results will be announced tomor­row.

wick came up with one in the first, two in the fourth, and one each in the sixth and eighth. The Peds were limited to three hits in the 5-2 loss as Bill Schweitzer had control of the ball game all the way. A hit batsman, two of State's four costly errors, and a safe blow by Serifs spelled doom for State's hurler, Tom Shumanski. Zidik appeared in the fourth to relieve Tom. Scores

All Thirteen Reach Quota In Myskania Election; Men-Women Ratio Remains Same As Last Year 40th Honorary Body Ascends Steps In Tense Page Ceremony

The ratio of men to women will remain the same on the Senior Honorary Society next year. The women will maintain their majority of eight, while the men will keep their number at five.

After the classes have "moved up" to their new posi­tion, and after "Arm in Arm" has been sung, the tradi­tional tapping ceremony began. A hush fell upon the audi­torium while the old Myskania filed into the second row of seats in preparation for the tapping.

The first members of the out-going group to step slowly forward were Robert Joseph Coan, President of Stu­dent Association, who acted as the speaker and announced the names of the new members, and Mary Joan Carlin, Chairman of Myskania, who pinned the new members with the purple and gold tassles which are the symbol of the office.

MARY BREZNY was the first member of the 1955-56 Myskania to be chosen by tapping. Her name boomed out as Robert Allen Sage and Olga Komanowski stopped in the aisle beside her row in the assembly. Miss Brezny served as SA Secretary in her Sophomore year and will serve as Senior Class Vice-President.

Donna Kathleen Hughes and John Franklin Orser were the second pair to leave the stage. Their slow walk around the auditorium ended beside MARJORIE ANN KELLEHER. Miss Kelleher served as Vice-President of the Sophomore Class and President of the Junior Class. After Miss Kelleher took her position on the stage, Zoe Ann Laurie and Ann Christie Tobey tapped the first male mem­ber of the new Myskania, who was SIGMUND ARNOLD SMITH. Smith was escorted to the stage and took his place as the third member to look out on the sea of excited and anxious faces. Smith was Vice-President of his class this year and will be President of the incoming Senior Class.

ROBERT FRANCIS BETSCHA, the newly elected Pres­ident and former Vice-President of Student Association, was the next to be tapped. Dolores Marie Montalbano and Ronald Anthony Koster circled to the back of the audi­torium before stopping beside Betscha and escorting him to the stage.

The new director of Frosh Camp, SAMUEL JOHN KRCHNIAK, was fifth to be tapped. Miss Komanowski, de­scending once again from the stage, and Mary Arcangela lacavone brought Krchniak to the rostrum.

As silence fell again, Charles Henry Beckwith and Orser walked solemnly to the row where MARY JANE FISHER, Chairman of State Fair this year was seated.

The seventh member to be added to the new Myskania was JOSEPH RICHARD KELLY, tapped by Mary Louise Battisti and Sage. Kelly has been active in his class and in athletics, and will be Chairman of State College Ath­letic Advisory Board next year.

After circling twice, Miss Laurie and Koster broke the suspense by tapping the fourth woman, JUDITH ANN VIMMERSTEDT. Miss Vimmerstedt was active in Dra­matics and has been President of Christian Science Or­ganization.

The ninth member tapped was THERESE KATHER-INE BARBER. Miss Barber, escorted to the stage by Orser and Miss Tobey, has been an active member of the State College Debate' team and has served on Student Council.

As the atmosphere became more tense, with the sense of competition becoming more keen, Miss Battisti and Miss Montalbano descended into the hushed auditorium to tap ALAN DONALD WEINER. A prominent entertainer at State College, Weiner has been active in Student Govern­ment as well as Dramatics.

LINDA LOU NILES was the sixth woman added to the Myskania roster. Beckwith and Koster came from the rear of the auditorium to pause as Coan called the name of this year's Student Association Songleader, who will oc­cupy seat number eleven.

After Miss Carlin presented Miss Niles with her Mys­kania tassle and she joined the ranks of the new members, Miss lacavone and Sage descended into the tense audience to escort JANE ANN LOMAN to the stage. Miss Loman was Secretary of the Junior Class and will be the Co-Di­rector of Women's Frosh Camp next year.

The suspense reached its apex as Miss Hughes and Miss Laurie circled the auditorium twice, carefully search­ing for the last member to be tapped, AILEEN JANE COCHRANE, Editor of the State College News.
